• Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease and line the cake tin with baking paper. • Drain pineapple slices. Measure 200g butter (for the cake) and set aside at room temperature to soften. Measure 30g butter (for the sauce) and set aside. • Divide brown sugar into three separate bowls: 200g in one bowl, 60g in another bowl and the remaining 40g in a third bowl. TIP: Weigh out your ingredients before you start to speed up your baking time!
• In a medium saucepan, combine butter (for the sauce) and 40g brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, 2-3 minutes. • Pour sauce into the lined cake tin. Place pineapple slices, in a single layer, on top of sauce.
• In a large bowl, add 200g brown sugar and the butter (for the cake). Beat with electric beaters until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until smooth. Fold in basic sponge mix and milk with a spoon until just combined. • Pour cake batter into cake tin covering pineapple. • Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until cake is golden brown and cooked through. Set aside to cool in tin, 15-20 minutes. TIP: Using room temperature butter helps the batter get light and fluffy! TIP: To check if the cake is done, stick a toothpick or skewer in the centre. It should come out clean.
• While the cake is baking, wipe out the saucepan and return to medium heat. Cook coconut milk and 60g brown sugar, whisking until well combined and turned to caramel, 5-8 minutes. Set aside until thickened. TIP: The caramel will thicken as it rests!
• Heat a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Set aside. • When the cake has cooled, place a serving plate on top of the cake. Carefully flip cake over and remove tin to reveal pineapple top.
• Sprinkle pineapple upside down cake with toasted almonds. • Slice and serve drizzled with coconut caramel. Enjoy!
